Commercial Description:
At the height of the heat in the heart of the summer, we felt that the only cure was a raging mouthful of fresh hops and malt. Caution: May remove enamel from teeth. This is Lagunitas IPA pumped up by about 30%!

Again not a fan of IPAs, but at least this one had more flavor then just a kick in the teeth of hops. If you love IPAs its a must have.

22 oz bottle. Small aroma of pine and hops. Poured a bright copper with a small quickly vanishing white head. Flavor began to approach DIPA standard and held it’s ground throughout. A little rough on the palate, but not unexpected. Overall a workmanlike ale.

22 oz. Bottle. 3/1/09. Hazy straw color with an ok head that thins to a white cover. Smells of resinous hops that is a little thin but still nice. Tastes of sticky hops and malt that lingers for a short time. Good imperial but could be more hefty.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence or limpide avec une belle petite mousse blanche qui colle tres bien au verre. Aromes de pin, gingembre, zeste d’orange et un poivre leger mais intéressant. Tres bonne amertume, leger cote sucré corps crémeux et velouté.... finition sec. Gout tres houblonné, zest et poivré. Bonne biere...

Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur caramel avec un très bon collet beige pale moyennement collant. Odeur d’épinettes, épices, oranges, sucre, miel et sel. Gout de très sucré, miel, caramel, sucre d’orge et un peu la poire.

22 oz. bomber, 2006 vintage. Probably the oldest IIPA I’ve had. Still has some nice PNW hop in its nose, but now almost overwhelmed by caramel malt. Cloudy caramel colored IPA body. Thin white head. Taste starts with hop note of pineapple backed by tangy orange. Relaxing alcoholic malt, thick with a hint of toffee, rum and whiskey. Warmth and hoppiness expands as I work down the bottle. Well-aged ale even starts to finish with hints of 7-up. That’s a good thing.

bomber. avg creamy/rocky off-white head into clear cooper body with minimal lacing present. aromas of strong caramel and mod citrus hops oily mouthfeel that coats. too much sweetness in flavor for me.
